i mean sure, but the problem is that you then have a wire to worry about. I feel like bluetooth has been standard for so long that everyone has forgotten how incredibly annoying wired headphones are..

    Still using wired headphones here. They're great. Have to use the fucking USBC adapter, but it's worth it.

    Does cord noise bother you? The last few times I've tried to use wired headphones, I was incredibly annoyed by the sounds created by the cord touching stuff.

    Are you using a smooth / rubber cord or one of those rough, braided cords? I usually use modified KOSS headphones and some Verisonix cups. They've all got smooth cords, so I almost never notice if it touches things, but I'm mostly wearing on-ear / open backed headphones that wouldn't likely transmit that too much.

    You can buy non-microphonic cables for pretty cheap. Bought a 7€ hama cable for an old pair of Philips 2xhr headphones and it was completely silent.

    IEM/earbud cables are a little trickier, but there are plenty of sub 20€ cables online that are good. Microphonics is only really a problem with carelessly designed or very cheaply made cables.
